I’ve heard of this type of situation more than once before. Glad you’re on the right track now. Is Park South in the Bronx? I know Dr. Fine, I worked with him in Nuclear Medicine at Jacobi some time ago. He’s a good guy. Tell him I said Hi when you see him. Best of luck and keep us all posted. Jim

Thanks Cynthia, I will look into that. I have spoken with Dr. Fine at length from Einstein University. He has conducted brief human tests on this. http://www.nmsociety.org/DrFineBio.aspx
He expresses some concern in the complex nature of cancer cells and that they may go into a dormant mode which might not be good before chemo.
But all in all…his research supports lower tumor growth on low carb.

My pet/ct’s are being done locally at Park South Imaging. I was goind to a different company originally. I can see what a big difference a skilled reader can make. I had an outwardly visible tumor in the fat/muscle area below my right rib for months. To each dr. I would say “hey, I am having fevers ever three weeks of 103 degrees for 2 days and I have this lump right here.” Know one sounded the alarm. We scurried off looking at gallbladder etc. The radiation guy had made a small note of it as probably an injection site. Months late arpil-sept he said finally that it should be biopsied.
The new team is very detailed and thorough. More time to set up scan and more detailed reports.

Hi Sally, sorry to know of your cancer. I’m a PET technologist and meet dozens of people with the same health issue every year. Where are you having your PET scans done? Good luck with your chemo and any and all other therapies. Don’t give up! I’m rooting for you. Take care,
Jim

Sorry to hear about this. My understanding is that once cancer is well established, there is usually more than one metabolic/genetic derangement going on. So you may need more than one mode of attack. I’m guessing normalizing vit D might also help. Supplementing with MCTs such as coconut oil could help increase ketone levels.

Good luck! Please document and report on what you’re doing in hopes that it might prove useful to someone else.

Thanks for the vote of support.
I am seeking hyperthermia treatment at a major university combined with chemo and perhaps radiation. I hope that they accept me. I am in perfect health otherwise. Just went jet skiing today. Seems crazy this thing is trying to kill me and I feel fantastic.
My present physians are nice folks but they are only offering chemo.
